the TNT ride starts with a 7.5mi spin from Bucks Bikes towards the Twin Creeks Country club where we will do six 2.5mi laps; the end of each with the option to sprint.... moreafter each lap the group will slow to regroup, or if you are further off the back, you can cut the lap short to merge back in.laps will average 22-24mph and turn through 3 roundabouts *at speed*. overall ride average is 18.5-20mph.

riders are expected to ride as organized as possible, 2 abreast for most of each lap. once we approach the final stretch you can organize a faster lead out... or simply hold on until the sprint and give it your best.

IMPORTANT NOTES- even though we sprint, you should not make any aggressive moves or attacks that could put any other riders in danger. this is not a race.- if the any efforts are too fast, do not ride beyond your abilities trying to hang on to the point that you blow up and cause other riders to brake or swerve around you. maintain your speed and let others pass... or signal and slowly move out of line if it's safe to do so.- stay organized! the laps are in a residential neighborhood with a country club that hosts events; there will be traffic. we want to do our best not to negatively affect the residential traffic flow.- YIELD on the roundabouts as necessary. if you are towards the front, look ahead to the roundabouts for cars and call it out. if you are in the group, be aware that the group may need to slow/stop.

if you are new to this ride, please hang towards the back and get a feel for how things operate and make sure you are comfortable with the route, turns and pace.

if you participate in the sprints, also consider working on the front from time to time and/or leading out... you will get a workout!

disclaimer: this ride is not sponsored by bucks bikes or any organization

Jenn says it best so here is her description of the ride....

Crazy that I am, yet again, writing a description for this weekly Deer Creek Hill Climb ride which has become quite a popular ride over the past several years. It is not uncommon that we can often have 25 plus riders, of all levels. (weather pending, of course!)

For those who have ridden it in the past, it is the same ride. So no need to read too much farther:)

For those who have never done it, the following ride description is for you! Hope to see everyone (long time attendees and especially new folks)

Format: An "out and back" hill climb ride. Meaning that it is friendly for ALL levels since we literally all ride up the hill, get to the top, and turn around. We ride at our own pace (which is critical to having fun..no one is trying to kill each other; everyone is just out for fitness and truly does not care how fast or slow everyone else goes) Faster riders can go ahead and newer riders can ride at their own pace knowing that we will all see one another again because we all have to turn around and go back to the same starting point

Distance: It is a round trip ride. From the starting point/cars, it is 8 miles UP the hill. Then 8 miles back down the hill. So 8 miles of uphill and working hard and then 8 miles of relatively easy riding back down the hill to our cars.

Fun Factor: This group strives to make sure that everyone has fun. No matter what level of experience. I personally want to make sure that every new person really knows that it matters to me that they showed up (because I know how hard it can be to just take that first ride with any group...and I do not want anyone to feel intimidated! Believe it or not, sometimes, even after all of these years, I feel nervous, too...and heck, I am the group leader!) No one cares how fast or slow you are or what you are wearing or whether or not this is your very first bike and ride ever:)

Weather Considerations: Two things in this area-first,darkness....in the early spring, we will be limited greatly by sunset. It is a canyon so when the sun goes down, it gets dark pretty fast. In early spring, I will set a time limit. In other words, I will request that everyone turns around at a certain time so we can get back to our cars in a safe manner.

Second weather consideration-clothing. Climbing up the hill, you will often times be quite warm. Consequently, if you are dressed TOO warmly, you will sweat (ok, women, we will glisten) a lot. This becomes an issue for the return trip-the more drenched your clothes are, the colder you will be for the ride back down the hill. So, bring layers….layers to take off for the ride up the hill and layers to put on for the ride back down. And GLOVES! Warm gloves or mittens (don’t even need to be cycling ones). Having frozen hands for riding back down the hill is very dangerous. You need to be able to feel your hands to safely use your brakes:)

Whether you live in the area or are just visiting Boise and looking for a group to ride with, we'd love to have you join us on any of our rides! ... moreOur motto is "leave no one behind" and our group rides are no-drop. For your full enjoyment of our weekly rides though, we strongly suggested the following riding ablilties/considerations:
